Will We Ever Make it to IC?

I as well as the rest of the MC of Egypt are in deep shit. We can't find a single damn reservation for India.

Previously we had a reservation on Saudi Airlines done in a shitty travel agency, but when I went to confirm the tickets. Saudi Airlines told me tickets are useless and that we are dumb victims of dumber swindlers (travel agency.) - We have paid for flights that are on waiting list and will never get confirmed before mid Sept.

After a good deal of argument we managed to get our money back, to find that the minimum price of a ticket to Delhi has arisen for 1900L.E in any other airlines, but there's no available reservation in the first place.

I spent the whole day with Martha kissing ass to a different travel agency and had to drive its employee to EL-HARAM district because she stayed late searching for flights for us!!!

We will know tomorrow or max. on Sunday if we will ever make it to Delhi or not, and we all are so so anxious, no one can't still believe that he/she can't make it to IC.

COCK Door??!!



2 weeks Ago, I, Tarek and Maan decided to visit Hazem a friend of us and an AIESECer as well who was in an internship in a drilling site close to Portsaid.

On our way to Hazem's hotel we saw this striking Board.

This turned out to be a restaurant that's trying to copy the brand name of a famous restaurant chain in Cairo and Alexandira called "Cook Door" with this Logo

What can I say about this?? After all "Cock Door" doesn't sound like a name for a restaurant at all, unless it's serves some very special dish :P - Will stop complaining about how stupid most people are from now on....

How can someone possibly believe in this??

I received this spam from a friend of mine.

This is a very common spam that has been rotating in the Islamic world for many decades (before was Xerox copied paper and before was just handwritten). Only this week i received couple of these from friends, who are both university students.


This spam features a letter that tells a story of a common religious person who dreamt of a unique religious figure (usually prophet) and this figure always ask him to copy this letter for many times (25-40) and send it to others to get the blessing of God and warns against not believing in the letter (this case will will suffer from major disasters to oneself and ones' family.) And as long as the world is full of fools, this spam rotates for ever an ever.

I really wonder how possibly did couple of university students believed in this CRAP??

Out of the Record: Once my uncle (30 years ago) got this spam (was handwritten then) asking to write "There's no God but Allah and Mohammad is the prophet of Allah" for 10,000 times, just one day before his finals. it was obviously a trick done by someone who deliberately hates him to get him busy in something rather than studying. After some hesitation, my uncle had to discard it and he got his best grades ever.

Message to all Muslims of the world: Don't Believe in this CRAP!!!! Don't make fools of yourself

AIESEC Egypt in Pain

I found this quote as Martha's nick on MSN. It didn't require too much time to conclude the reason for writing so... it's the vaccination before IC.

As CC IC and Egyptian government require, We have to take 5 vaccination for Hepatitis A, Cholera, Typhoid, Tetanus and some 5th disease that i don't even recall.

Taking the shot itself is painless, but awful symptoms of dizziness, mild fever and general weakness will appear, resulting from the Typhoid and Cholera vaccines (That we have to take twice.) If the vaccine only cause this what would the damn disease itself cause?

If you are too efficient and quite in haste as Myself, Tarek Habib and Tarek Talaat are, you will take the 5 in one day, but you have to suffer the consequences (cramps and inability to move all your arm for taking a minumim of 3 shots in one of them.) (Good luck for Talaat who has a final in 3 days and needs both his arms and a clear mind to study)

Hope these diseases were worth all the pain.
